obama, 68-54. probably won't be that big again, but they're still betting on it being double digits. it's significant. >> i would just -- i think it's so important what you said and i'll let you go. this is not about -- in 2008 obama didn't get more of a percentage, more young people didn't vote. it was 18, it was more unified behind him one of the big misnomers. >> twice as much. >> but if they're counting on the youth vote this time they're in big trouble because in every poll we see in the nbc/"wall street journal" poll the enthusiasm below all the other groups. almost that. >> apathy is the enemy of the obama camp. but they only need specific states. >> luke and dom, thank you, guys. i like how you coordinate. well con. >> italian irish tie day. >> joining me to talk about the youth vote is call pen, actor, producer and obama campaign co-chair. cal, you're a triple threat, nice title there. you just heard the guys here on the set saying, apathy is your enemy, that enthusiasm among young people
